Pet Sitting Wilkes

About: We are gentle, caring, and experienced pet parents ready to welcome your pet(s) into our home. I (Alex) have been caring for pets of family and friends for well over a decade. I once worked at the WSU veterinary school and have experience volunteering at vet clinics and fostering. I have always been passionate about animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. My partner Dalton is a work from home dad to our three furbabies and one human baby. We have plenty of indoor and fenced outdoor space for your pet(s) to roam. Whether they want to cuddle up on the couch with us, or prefer a quiet, secluded space of their own, we can accommodate your pet's needs. Our goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in our home. If you need drop-in visits or dog walking, I have availability for that too! Don't hesitate to reach out with questions. We value open, frequent communication and would love a meet and greet with you and your pet(s) to see if we are a good fit. I work night shift in healthcare- I have several days off in a row every other week which is when I would be available for pet sitting. This includes weekends and weekdays, as well as some holidays. My partner works from home full-time so is available to help out as needed. We have a large one story home with plenty of lounge spaces for your pet to get comfortable. We also have a large fully fenced, grassy backyard. Our two elderly dogs are good with other dogs, but we also have the ability to give your pet(s) their own gated off space, or crate, if needed.

About: Beyond the care of my own pets, I also regularly house, dog, cat, and chicken-sit for family friends and neighbors. I've spent my whole life around animals and have nurtured and cared for a variety of pets, including guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and fish. I graduated in June of this year, so I have more day-time availability this summer, however I do work a part-time job. My shifts at my job are 4 to 10 hours, 3 to 4 days a week, and Fridays and Tuesdays tend to be my most available days. I am open to any rules or directions you have for your pet. I have a deep respect for all animals and will love and care for them. As a pet-caregiver myself, I understand the bond between you and your pet and the protecting feeling that comes with it. I will do all I can to make sure you feel your pet is in good hands.

“Makenzie was a great with her visits to our 2 cats. They both warmed up to her very quickly and she sent us great photos and made sure everything was taken care of.”

About: I have been caring for dogs For over 10 years, but in reality, i have always had pets in my life. I love animals and enjoy making sure they are happy, Safe, and well Cared for every day lincorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine by scheduling walks and drop-in visits at times that are convenient for the pets and their owners. I make sure to provide consistent attention, playtime, and potty breaks, keeping the pets happy and safe throughout the week. I provide a safe and caring environment during walks and drop-in visits at the client's home. I make sure pets are never left unattended, follow the owner's instructions carefully, and ensure they have food, water, playtime, and potty breaks. Safety and trust are my top priorities.

“Kathleen was wonderful with our three cats. As per usual with cats, each is a little peculiar. Kathleen adjusted to each cat easily. Clearly an animal person! Made amazing progress with our shyest scaredy-est cat. The social one was spunky and happy when we got home thanks to Kathleen giving her the play and attention that she needed while we were gone. And the feral one got fed so he was happy too.”

“Melissa was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our cats and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

“I could not wish for a better person to entrust the care of my best cat friend to. So much so that Jayne has been my cat's only caregiver when I have had to be gone. Jayne always puts Mouse's (my cat) needs first providing her active playtime, affection, and following her well established routine. Jayne provides me with a narrative of each visit that makes me feel like I am right there.Her professionalism combined with her true love and appreciation of animals makes her the best!”

“Emily has taken care of our dog Gracie many times while out of town and she is so loving with her easing her stress with Mom & Dad gone! She is the best pet sitter we've ever had and I highly recommend her!!”

“Anna came for a meet and greet with me and Sunny. Everything went well. Anna stopped by a few days later to take my 8 month old goldendoodle outside for a potty break and to feed him dinner while I was at work. Anna was punctual, professional and provided me with awesome pictures of Sunny and an update text message of her visit. 10/10 recommend.”

“Jeff has been awesome with my boys, great communication and he treats them as if his own.”

“Jessica clearly loves dogs very much and is wonderfully patient. She was so great and calm when our pup (who gets overexcited and pees when meeting new people) peed on her shoes. Jessica came when promised, took great photos of the pups, and hung out with them and played for bit. She allowed us to have a long day out, and it was great to have someone we could trust help out our furbabies.”

About: While I've grown up with dogs and cats, I also have professional pet sitting experience taking care of dogs with diabetes, blind cats, guinea pigs, and even a llama! Pets and their caretakers have trusted me so much, they have flown me to their new homes after moving out of state for further petsitting assignments. I give emotional connection and comfort to pets while they're missing their humans, even reading aloud to them, because I believe it is an integral part of the job. Currently, this is my primary work, so I will have time to spare to take care of your animals. I volunteer regularly at animal sanctuaries and other orgs to improve the lives of animals. I have typically been asked to spend the night with the pets in the client's home, and spend as much time with them as possible, but I can also make daily visits instead if necessary. If you prefer I make visits, keep in mind the distance it would take for me to get to your place, and consider allowing me to make fewer, longer visits instead of multiple brief ones throughout the day.

“Second time asking her to come and look after our 3 cats!! They like her & we don't have to worry about them when we go out of town. Thanks again for caring for them 😊”

“Ashley did a great job with our two kitties. She popped over to our house prior to our trip to meet the kitties and know her way around the house. We appreciated the daily updates and photos, as well as cleaning up the messes the kids had made. Any concerns we had were taken care of. Thank you Ashley!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid and I have a dog and cat of my own that I care deeply for. I have looked after pets that range from puppies to seniors. I am attentive to the needs of pets and I look forward to providing care for your fuzzy friends! I am a college student with a light schedule so I have lots of availability to spend taking care of your animals! Mornings and afternoons are generally pretty free. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect your space and follow your instructions exactly. I maintain their regular routine for feeding, walking, and any medications, and I send regular updates with photos so you always know how they’re doing. I aim to keep your pet relaxed and stress free while you're away!

“Cassidy thanks for taking good care of Archie. I am glad I was able to use your services for the second time and will definitely use in the future. I appreciate your communication and updates of my little guy. So helpful to know that he is left is good hands. Thanks again!”
